Updates

3/8/2024

  • Added Core version which disables Windows Defender. Specifically, it disables the following services "Sense, WdBoot, WdFilter, WdNisDrv, WdNisSvc, WinDefend" which in turns prevents the MsMpEng.exe process from running. Credit to Christoph Schneegans for explaining.
  • Combined 64bit, 32bit and ARM64 support into a single autounattend.xml file for each version of the file.
  • Fixed the ei.cfg file creation to correctly show all available editions of Windows during the setup.
  • User Account Control is now set to default (level 3) at the end of the currentuser.cmd script.
  • Set Powershell ExecutionPolicy to "AllSigned" for better security. Thanks https://github.com/cyb3rm4gus
  • Set "When Windows Detects Communication Activity" under "System > Sound > More sound settings > Communications" to "Do Nothing". Thanks https://github.com/MicaelJarniac
  • Added Blocks the “Allow my organization to manage my device” and “No, sign in to this app only” pop-up message. Thanks https://github.com/Syntax3rror404
  • Changed NetworkThrottlingIndex to 10 (Default)
  • Removed the "Disables Hibernation" entry.
  • Created TROUBLESHOOTING.md to provide fixes to common "issues."
  • Updated README.md for better readability and included more information and FAQ's.

24/7/2024

These Updates apply to ALL Versions

Changed

README.md - Fixed wrong ISO/Windows folder creation in Method 3. (Can't create folders with "/")

reg.exe add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v Wallpaper /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img19.jpg" /f

Changed img0.jpg to img19.jpg to compliment the automatic enabling of dark mode.

Added

:: Disables Wallpaper JPEG Quality Reduction in Windows 10
reg.exe add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v JPEGImportQuality /t REG_DWORD /d 100 /f

:: Set Desktop Background Dark Mode Wallpaper
reg.exe add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img19.jpg" /f

Removed

Completely Removed defaultuser.cmd - It doesn't work as intended, registry settings are applied to user accounts via the currentuser.cmd script.

8/7/2024

These Updates apply to the Standard and IoT-LTSC-Like Versions

Changed

reg.exe add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v DragFullWindows /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f
reg.exe add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v ListviewAlphaSelect /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Reason: Enabled these Settings for a more aesthetically pleasing Windows Experience.

Added <![CDATA[]]> to all .

<settings pass="specialize"></settings>

Changes in the specialize phase - Added -WindowStyle Hidden to the powershell.exe commands to run the scripts minimized. (The Windows still appear briefly.) - Combined the remove-caps.ps1, remove-features.ps1 scripts together into the remove-packages.ps1 Script and changed the file path to 'C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\remove-packages.ps1'. - Changed the command for Run Chris Titus WinUtil Tweaks

Added

Added the following items to wintweaks.ps1

Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /Source:X:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

Reason: Auto-enables .NET Framework 3.5 (it's already a part of Windows) This fixes - memstechtips#19

# Create WinUtil shortcut on the desktop (sourced from CTT MicroWin)
$desktopPath = "C:\Users\Default\Desktop"
# Specify the target PowerShell command
$command = "powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command 'irm https://christitus.com/win | iex'"
# Specify the path for the shortcut
$shortcutPath = Join-Path $desktopPath 'LAUNCH-CTT-WINUTIL.lnk'
# Create a shell object
$shell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
    
# Create a shortcut object
$shortcut = $shell.CreateShortcut($shortcutPath)
       
# Set properties of the shortcut
$shortcut.TargetPath = "powershell.exe"
$shortcut.Arguments = "-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command `"$command`""
# Save the shortcut
$shortcut.Save()
    
# Make the shortcut have 'Run as administrator' property on
$bytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($shortcutPath)
# Set byte value at position 0x15 in hex, or 21 in decimal, from the value 0x00 to 0x20 in hex
$bytes[0x15] = $bytes[0x15] -bor 0x20
[System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes($shortcutPath, $bytes)

Reason: This fixes memstechtips#30 where the CTT WinUtil didn't launch correctly.

<!-- Create or modify ei.cfg file -->
<RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
      <Order>7</Order>
      <Path>cmd /c echo [Channel]>%SYSTEMDRIVE%\sources\ei.cfg &amp;&amp; echo Retail>>%SYSTEMDRIVE%\sources\ei.cfg &amp;&amp; echo [VL]>>%SYSTEMDRIVE%\sources\ei.cfg &amp;&amp; echo 0>>%SYSTEMDRIVE%\sources\ei.cfg</Path>
</RunSynchronousCommand>

Reason: Prevents auto detection of Windows Edition and forces Windows Setup to show all available Editions of Windows during setup.

:: Unpins all apps from the Start Menu
      reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Start" /v ConfigureStartPins /t REG_SZ /d "{ \"pinnedList\": [] }" /f
      reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Start" /v ConfigureStartPins_ProviderSet /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
      reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Start" /v ConfigureStartPins_WinningProvider /t REG_SZ /d B5292708-1619-419B-9923-E5D9F3925E71 /f
      reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\providers\B5292708-1619-419B-9923-E5D9F3925E71\default\Device\Start" /v ConfigureStartPins /t REG_SZ /d "{ \"pinnedList\": [] }" /f
      reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\providers\B5292708-1619-419B-9923-E5D9F3925E71\default\Device\Start" /v ConfigureStartPins_LastWrite /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Reason: Was previously removed (by mistake) - It cleans up the start menu.

Added ARM versions of all files. This fixes memstechtips#8

:: Disables User Account Control
reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Reason: Without this entry, the currentuser.cmd file won't automatically run as Admin and some of the commands will fail. If you use UAC, just enable it in Control Panel.

Removed

:: Hides the Language Switcher on the Taskbar
reg.exe add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CTF\LangBar" /v ShowStatus /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f

Reason: Doesn't work.

30/6/2024

Uploaded first edition of IoT-LTSC-Like Answer File

Removed

:: Start Menu Customizations
:: Disables Recently Added Apps and Recommendations in the Start Menu
reg.exe add "HKU\DefaultUser\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" /v HideRecentlyAddedApps /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg.exe add "HKU\DefaultUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v Start_IrisRecommendations /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

:: Start Menu Customizations 
:: Disables Recently Added Apps and Recommendations in the Start Menu
reg.exe add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" /v HideRecentlyAddedApps /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\providers\B5292708-1619-419B-9923-E5D9F3925E71\default\Device\Start" /v ConfigureStartPins_LastWrite /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
:: Enables the "Settings" and "File Explorer" Icon in the Start Menu
reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Start" /v AllowPinnedFolderSettings /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f
reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Start" /v AllowPinnedFolderSettings_ProviderSet /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f
reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Start" /v AllowPinnedFolderFileExplorer /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f
reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Start" /v AllowPinnedFolderFileExplorer_ProviderSet /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f

Reason: Intended for Windows 11 but doesn't work as originally intended and prevents the user from changing the settings manually.

:: Disables User Account Control
reg.exe add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

:: Disables User Account Control
reg.exe add "HKU\DefaultUser\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Privacy" /v UserAccountControlSettings /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

:: Disables User Account Control
reg.exe add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Privacy" /v UserAccountControlSettings /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Reason: Could cause security issues, user can set it manually.

      <WillShowUI>Always</WillShowUI> <!-- This ensures the UI will show to select the edition of Windows -->
</ProductKey>

Reason: Prevents Windows from Automatically Selecting a Windows Edition due to a OEM key being installed in the BIOS/UEFI.

Misc

Update XML file so it is properly escaped and prevents errors.

Set-Service -Name 'wscsvc' -StartupType Manual -ErrorAction Continue

21/6/2024
